They had a seizure which I was able to deal with surprisingly because I've never had a deal with anything like that before. But then it got me thinking, what about CPR, could I do it correctly, would I be able to help somebody successfully? I've been looking at videos tonight on jewytube and it looks like the compressions have gone to 30 with two breaths, rinse repeat. But what I don't understand is I thought CPR was for if the heart stops not if there's irregular breathing? They just now check to see if the breathing is regular, if it's exasperated or clunky they say start CPR. I only thought you did it if there's no heartbeat? What say you first responders or EMT folks on here?

I'm not an EMT, just a Dad of two grown adult kids with Epilepsy. Dealt with literally hundreds of seizures of all kinds for 30 years. You just roll them on their side incase they vomit and call 911, nothing else. If the seizure lasts beyond a few minutes it can be bad but normally they won't. Sometimes breathing literally stops and gets erratic and they can turn blue, my son clenched so hard he fractured his jaw. It's pretty traumatic to witness and actually started giving me ptsd for awhile. The brain resets and they can be good as new or be nauseous, headache and extremely tired for hours. If it's vaccine related heart issues, outa my league.

He has sleep apnea really bad according to his wife. So I was reading or listening on jewTube that it could be a reason for seizures the oxygen deprivation at least. When he came too he had no idea what happened and he was completely retarded for like an hour. He didn't want to go to the hospital but the wife made him go because it was the first time. He bit his tongue pretty bad. But I had remembered at least I thought I did that the priority was to keep him from choking. If he broke a tooth he broke a tooth, big deal. Reviewing the situation in my head there would have been no way to get anything in his mouth anyway.

Never ever put anything anywhere near a person's mouth during a seizure. That's an old pile of bullshit. They will not choke. Disorientation is normal. My son is a complete wack job for 30 - 60 minutes afterwards then boom he's back. The brain is literally resetting itself and depending on the severity or where it's located in the brain the after effects are unpredictable. He needs to see a doctor and have his brain tested. He could have any kind of neurological issue causing the seizure. It could be just watching tv but even then he needs to know that.

Yeah he was getting seizure medicine that the emergency room doctor prescribed him. I told him that some TV shows can trigger seizures that's why they have seizure warnings. He said that he didn't think he was going to go to the neurologist that they recommended to go to. Hopefully his wife can talk some sense into him. I don't really know them so it was kind of super awkward helping out in such an intimate way. I'm glad I was there however and they were too.

If you can keep track of how long it lasts that is helpful info for the EMTs or Dr.
